Re: [APP] SPen-Helper ***v0.33***

I'm really thnkful to the Dev, his app has solved my long problem of opening a particular snote file on every detachment of spen, instead of opening a new snote file which become unmanageable,

Though currently this app alone cant do this but his to do tasker plugin will easily do it, for the moment i have made a simple app which will do the work,it opens a particular spen file by the name evryday,

Hey, i wonder if this app works on PA? It would be a nice app to have if so. :cyclops:

If PA is a Samsung based rom it will work

No, i think that PA is based of CM 10.x, isn't there a way that you could create an application that fills the same purpose, but work on PA or CM 10?

This might sound like a dumb request but right now the notification when pulling out the pen reads: ''S-Pen has been Detached''

Tough question, as the app is just perfect! ;) I will think about it, but for the moment:

- Choose audiofile (s-pen detaching-sound)

- a page buddy-like page instead of an app (to choose the app to work with)

But again: these are just some "forced ideas" as there is nothin I can imagine atm. It would be perfect to be able to use your app with CyanogenMod Roms, but as this will not happen (in near future) everything is fine for now ;)

Re: [APP] SPen-Helper ***v1.0***

Hi first of all thanks for this I was missing this since going to novalauncher

Anyhow the only thing that I can think of although not sure if it's possible is to check the app that's running and only launch the snote when Let's say novalauncher is displayed

I say this as sometimes when I play something like stickman and decide to use the stylus I don't then want s note to pop up if that makes sense

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I can add that :)

Choosing audio file will require root access and page buddy will require a launcher which allows me to hide and show home pages programmatically

Basically a black list/white list kind of thing... That is possible
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] brooon:
Root access shouldn´t be a problem, as we are xda´lers ;) Regarding the "page buddy thing", it doesn´t have to be integrated into the launcher, it would be enough to open up a folder, so that one can choose the app to open!

But as I said: You´re app is just perfect as it is ;)

Could you make it so more apps/functions could be started when you pull out the s-pen? I would like to have it open Write which it does perfectly but I would also like it to either open Rotation Lock Adaptive (Free) or preferably lock the screen in reverse portrait mode and then revert back when the s-pen is reinserted.

No problem ...just a glimmer of hope there

This might be due for a separate thread but there was a mention of requiring the need for the TW framework. Anybody out there know if this could be pulled and utilized on an aosp rom allowing a background service (other than the entire tw launcher) that would allow for the spen hook to be grabbed by other applications? ...just a thought, which probably has already been thought of and found to be "impossible".

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Mihara:
For some reason, most of the time the Tasker profile set up to handle the SPen-Helper does not trigger upon removal of S-Pen, even though the notification shows correctly. It's quite erratic and I haven't been able to track down the exact conditions when it works, but more often than not it just doesn't.

This remains the same both for the current Market Tasker version and the beta from the site, so I guess it's an S-Pen Helper problem. It has been this way since the Tasker Plugin functionality was introduced and up to the current 1.22 version.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I'm aware of this issue, but it is definitely not from my apps side. It happens whenever the app is reinstalled or when tasker is closed from the recent app list. I've been looking for a solution to this problem but can't seem to find one. Rebooting the Phone solves the problem of Tasker not responding most of the times. Also after updating the app go to the Tasker settings and disable and enable the profile.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
This is a version with Bluetooth headset detection https://dl.dropbox.com/s/ami4ky602b7u33c/Spen-Helper beta.apk. I need someone to test this out for me as I don't have a Bluetooth Headset. Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] donec:
I had ask if S-pen helper could include the ability to put the phone into reverse portrait mode but I have found another solution. That is Rotation Lock Adaptive paid version allows settings to be set per app. This means that now thanks to S-pen Helper and Rotation Lock Adaptive when I pull out the s-pen my phone goes into reverse portrait mode (putting the buttons to the top) and Write opens (with ignore all touch enabled) allowing me to place my hand on the screen in any manner and noting happens until I start writing. then when I replace the pen everything goes back to normal. Thanks a ton tushar9989.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] :
R: [APP] SPen-Helper ***v1.3*** (With custom insert/detach sounds!!)

Let me say thank you for this app mate!! Wonderful and super useful!!

About adding new features:well it looks like it has already everything you need. Personally, I don't like apps bloated with too much features and then become huge and slow. So, my suggestion is: instead of adding things, look forward to some optimisations, like for example if the app size can be shrinked, of if you can make sure it doesn't have any impact on battery and such. Actually, I don't think these things are necessary as of now, but I also think that there is always space for improvement, in everything ;))

Sorry for my long post, I hope it's clear what I mean!

Thank you and keep up the good work!!

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bkimbel:

Mind to share it mate? Really curious about this :P

Galaxy Note II - Alliance Rom
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bkimbel:
Here you are. I just googled for "lightsaber sound" and there were a bunch. I can't remember where exactly I got these. The S-Pen Helper worked intermittently, so I'm back to using Tasker for the sounds for now. That also lets me temporarily lower the volume (I think ... still working on it).
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
What problem was it having.. the selected sound does not play or what?

Cause it works for me
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Dibujor:
I just received my note 2 and I'm in the process to 'migrate' from TW to Nova. The only thing that was holding me was the buddy pages thing and then I found your app. Awesome!.

I don't know if this has been asked but prior to find your app I found the spen toolbox one and, even when I like yours better (headphones support and so) that app has one thing I like a lot. When you detach your spen it shows a popup in the home screen with apps defined by you. Just like your notification bar thing but onverlayed on the home screen. I think this just saves one step (swyping to show the not bar and the chosing the app) and is more comfortable. Could it be possible to add this feature to SPen-Helper?

Anyway this is a pretty amazing app and everyone that hesitates to abandon TW because of the page buddy thingy should know about it :D
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] elijahbrown:
Re: [APP] SPen-Helper ***v1.3*** (With custom insert/detach sounds!!)

The is an option to launch a default app. Maybe the overlay can be an option. For me it would be a bit annoying since a lot of times I pull the spen out to use on the screen I've already got up.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Dibujor:
Yup, definitely :good:. I think the other app has this kind of list as an option too. Different people, different tastes. For me I pull the pen out and then choose the app, sometimes snote, sometimes sketchbook... so launching a default app is not cutting it for me. I find this overlay as a kind of 'mini buddy page' and really useful
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I can add that which would use the same apps which have been selected for the QuickBar.... But then that would be copying some body's ideas, which I believe is not right.... So if you like that app you can use that one ;)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bkimbel:
The sounds were not always playing. They'd play the first time or two, then after that, no more sound. I had the .wav files on the external SD. Would that make a difference?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
Was it at the same time or it would stop playing the sound after some time... And was the Phone on silent mode when the sounds were not playing?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Dibujor:
Well, we could argue that he copied it in the first place from the page buddy thing (the apps that show at the bottom of that buddy page). It's 'just' a minitray similar to the one that shows when you open a folder on the home screen.

As a mater of fact that is the only one thing I like about that app better than yours, but I like yours better for all the added functionality

Anyway I respect your decision, even when I'd love to see that added, your decision honors you.

Thanks anyway :good:
